Col. 3

The Bible instructs us to be MURDERERS. Can you believe it?

Let’s look more closely at our target … whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed – which is idolatry, anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language from your lips, and lying. There you have it.

For one thing, we can starve them. Every time we entertain them in our thought life, we are feeding them. The more we feed them, the stronger they grow. So, tear down any evil thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. [2 Cor. 10:5] Also, you can thrust it through with the sword of the Spirit. [Matt. 4:7] And you can displace it with the Holy Ghost! [Eph. 5:18]

We must love God more than these works of our flesh. If we let our carnal, worldly nature rule us, we will sadly murder the life of God in us. We can’t serve God and mammon. [Matt. 6:24]
